On October 15, 2012 my husband, Fred, went home to be with his Lord.  There was rejoicing in heaven that afternoon as he made his way through the gates of his new home.  God gave us 53 years together and I wouldn't trade them for anything.  One day I will make that journey and I'll find him waiting for me at those same gates.  What A Day That Will Be

How It All Began * My daughter * Pamela

When Fred and I married Pamela was 5 years old.  We became a family instantly, with Pam calling him Daddy from the very first day.  It was as if it had always been the three of us.  Fred was serving in the U.S Coast Guard at the time and we were transferred to Long Beach, CA where we stayed for the next 8 years.

Pamela * Rick * Fred

A couple years later we knew we could not have a baby so we discussed adopting.  We decided to apply, not knowing if we would be accepted, since we were still military.  It turned out God had already picked out a baby for us and in 2 months our son was born. When he was 5 days old and seeing him for the first time, there was no doubt in our minds that he was ours. We named him Fredrick and decided to call him Rick since his daddy was called Fred. When we took him home, we were all so happy and I must confess, I was a little scared.  What if something went wrong and they would come and take him away.  But I was reminded in my heart that God had placed Rick in our care and He would make us a real family, the four of us: Fred, Pamela, Rick and me.

Welcome To My World

A long time ago, or at least it seems to have been, I made a website of my family and friends.  I can no longer change, edit or republish that site.  A link to it is just above and you may visit it at any time you wish.  However, I hope you will visit this site often as I plan to continue making pages reflecting what is happening with my family.

Our daughter has begun a music ministry. There is a link here, I hope you will check it out and help her build her audience. The site for her music is here: http://www.pamelagrundy.com/ http://www.pamelagrundy.com/

Pam and Don also have a ministry site, where they share their heart for what God has done and is doing in their lives. The URL for it is: www.hearingheart.com
